sirnovember Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 They have had some good press in the states. You can use the big, 88g capsules in them. You can actually leave the capsules in the rifle over a period of a few months, as it causes no damge to the seal whatsoever. Does anyone on here own? Maybe give me an honest opinion.

realtreedave Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 these are sold in the uk as the umarex 850 air magnum and occasionaly as hamerelli or walther.they are imported into the uk by brocock.i was given one to field trial before they went on sale.these are truly excelent rifles once youve found the right diet of pellets and fitted the brocock silencer.i was so impressed i bought one in .22 and found it perfect for shooting squirels with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.stuart Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 imo no co2 is up for the job of humane dispatch,there simply to in consistent threw weather effect and that will cause in consistent groupings,so no guarantee on hitting the same pellet in the same spot.go to network 54 and a air conversion can be bought.for the money i would of bought a springer.the costs of converting it to air will bump the price up to mid range pcps.brocock silencer good?
